In the shadowy realm of black metal, one band has reigned supreme for a quarter of a century, and they're ready to mark this dark milestone in a genuinely infernal palace.
Watain, the Swedish black metal juggernauts, are gearing up to release their scorching live album, "Die in Fire Live in Hell," and they've given fans a taste of the sonic abyss with their recent live performance, "Before The Cataclysm."
Scheduled to hit the unholy airwaves on November 3, 2023, via Nuclear Blast, the band's album is more than just another live recording; it's a profoundly personal tribute to the legions of fans who have embraced Watain's lawless brand of black metal over the past 25 years.
Recorded by the skilled hands of Jamie Elton and mastered by the illustrious Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio, their album promises to deliver an unfiltered experience of Watain's raw power and fiery precision.
"Before The Cataclysm," the first offering from this forthcoming live album, has already left a trail of scorched earth in its wake.
Captured during a sold-out show at Stockholm's Fållan on October 7, 2022, this performance was a dedication to Watain's commitment to their craft and dedicated following.
